There was no marked feature in the

to-day. Business moderately good with
Cry goods men, and With the dealers in
miscellaneous merchandise. Grocers had their
hands full of business They report all prices
steady to very strong, and the tendency in every
department of the trade toward advanced figures
Coffees very strong. under advance in pr-
ces East, though quotations unchanged here
Canned goods going to be scarce-both of
fruits and yegetables-and prices steadily tend
upward. In produce there was good trade for
Monday, and prices were generally steady
Peaches were little firmer. Grapes are coming
in in excess of the demand, and as the bulk of
the offerings of poor quality the effect is to
depress prices the better grades. Melons
still maintain a high range of prices. Indianas
are quoted ali the way from S. per hundred for
common to $40 for best Jackson and Knox coun-
ty growth while Jerseys are firm at $12 for
mediun-sized. Potatoes both Irish and sweet
are scarce and prices rule high. In foreign
fruits there is no change.
There was a little more strength to wheat
and corn, while oats were barely steady. The
demand continues to be erely for consumption.
Very little wheat IS being shipped to this point
for handling for Eastern trade-all points West
shipping directly to the sea hoard. The closing
bids to-day on Change were as follows:

rha MOST Hieh church in Eurone,

The very highest church in Europe is
the pilgrimage chapel of st. Maria de
Ziteit, above Salux, in the canton of
Graubunden. 1t lies Q, 434 meters above
the sea level-nearly 5000 feet high
above the forest, near the limits of per-
petual snow. 1t is only open during the
summer time of that region-or, as the
folks thereabouts reckon. from st. John
the Baptist's Day to st. Michael's Day
and is used only by the Alp herds, who
remain there through the summer with
their COWS and goats, and occasionally by
hunters in search of the channels and
marmot. All the inhabitants of Salux
climb up thither on Midsummer Day to
assist at the first mass and hear the first
sermon of the year, and there is also a
crowded congregation on Michaelnas
Day, at the last service of the year. From
time to time a few stray pilgrims from
the Graubunden Overland and the Tyrol
find their way there. The second highest
church probably in Europe, that of Mon
stein, also open only in the summer, be-
longs to Graubunden. At our visit the
hale old preacher had five foreign tourists
for his congregation. -Bundner Tagblatt

Origin of National Tunes.

Hopkinson's 'sHail Columbia was
written to the tune of ''The Presidents
March" just as Mrs. Howe's "Battle
Hymn of the Republic" was written to
'tJohn Browns Body" The Wearing

to the same air as the ''Benny Ravens,
orr of the West Pointer. The "Star
SpangIed Banner has to make shift with
the second hand music of "Anacreon in
Heaven, while our other national air,
ssYankee Doodle, uses over the notes of
an old English nursery rhyme, "Lucy
Locket, - once personal lampoon in the
days Of the ssBeggar's Opera" and now
surviving in the 'sBaby's Opera" of Mr..
Walter Crane. "My Country, it's of

Among the crowd returning
home from the depot on last Mon
day after witnessing the exhibition
of the rotary steam shovel were
two ladies. A narrow trail over
the snow afforded the only safe
means to reach the main road from
the track and over it the procession
took up its march to town in Indian
file. Running parallel with the
narrow path was the trail of some
snow sheer and one of the ladies
desirious of fastening home,
thought she could get ahead of the
of the slow moving line of pedes-
TRANS by taking the adjoining trial.
She stepped from the beaten path
to the snow shoe trail and to her
utter amazemcnt sank almost out
of sight in the depths of the soft
snow. The sudden transition dunn
founded her for a moment, but she
soon realized the righteousness
of the situation and with the assis-
lance of others was soon restored
to a place in the file, remarking as
she shook the clouds of snow cling
ing to her apparel, any. one might
know | was a tender foot"

William Riley was an emigrant
passenger on the Short Line, last
week, bound from Howard, Dakota,
to Oregon, with his five motherless
children. When at POcatello he
displayed evident symptoms of in
sanity and tried to shoot the pas
sengers with a revolver. Near Wei
ser City he rushed from the car he
was in and climbing over the inter
vening ones to the engine drew his
revolver on the engineer and or
dered him to run faster. BY STRAIT
egv he was controlled and few
moments later he jumped from the
train and was instantly killed. Ri
lev was about 80 years of age and
an ex-soldier. The body was taken
to Ontario and there buried, while
the five orphan children were taken
in charge by the railroad officials
and forwarded to Portland, where
the eldest says they have relatives.

remedy ever discovered for the spec
dy and efIectual cure of Coughs,
Colds and the severest Lung trou-
bles. 1t acts on an entirely different
principle from the usual prescrip-
tons given by Physicians, as it does
not dry up a Cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on
the contrary removes the CAUSE of
the trouble, heals the parts affected
and leaves them in purely healthy
condition. A bottle kept in the
house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors

ness. A trial will convince you of
these facts. 1t is positively sold by

great loss of stock it is now reported
that the cattle men were interested

TllOROU6HLY TENTED.


The exhibit made at the depot
on last Monday afternoon by the
newly invented rotary steam shovel
conclusively demonstrated that the
genius Of man had at last accom-.
plished the task of providing a
means of keeping the tracks of rail-
road lines cleared of snow. For
sometime past this new machine
has been at work on the Branch
and other lines of the U. p. road,
but, reaching here after dark, no
chance of viewing the work as it
progressed was given. On Monday
it arrived early in the afternoon,
and had the effect of bringing a
large crowd tothe depot, all anxious
to see in reality the wonderful
work it was said to accomplish.
As it rounded the curve, leaving
the river, propelled by two power
full locomotives under full head of
steam, fine opportunity was af-
forded to see the wonderful work
performed. In outward appear
ance it presented the general APP
pearanee to a cabOose, from the
front of which, projecting over the
rails on either side was concave
steel frame. From the center of
this frame revolved a wheel of
heavy knives, used for the purpose
of drawing the snow onto the fan,
which throws it out through a
chute, thirty feet in the air and to
a distance of at least sixty. At
the same time. by genius device,
the rails are cleared Of ice and the
entire roadway left as free of i'm
pediments as in the most favored
season. The main track was speed
lily cleared, but the switch leading
to the warehouse of the Idaho For
warding company lay buried under
at least six feet of snow, packed
solidly. With but one locomotive
attached the rails were cleared in
short order, the stream of snow
passing over the roofs of the ware
houses. The machine has been
put to a severe test, but its capaci-
ty to successfully clear a road of
snow so fully shown that the Union
Pacific officials have concluded to
provide the road with the same.
Railroad officials generally evince
great interest in the new inven-
ton, and accompanying it here on
Monday was the directors car of
the the o. X. & n. Co., with the
following gentlemen: G. c. Ho-
bart, general master mechanic, and
C.. w. Johnson, assistant superin-
tendent of the o. K. Il n. Co.; w.
T. Small, assistant superintendent
of machinery of the n. p. K. r.,
and master mechanic Hickey, of
the Short Line. After seeing the
cut this side of Tikura cleared of
eleven feet of snow with as much
ease, apparently as though it had
been but few inches, the gentle
men, did not require any further
evidence of the great value of the
machine and spoke highly of its
merits. The car occupied by them
was arranged so as to provide all
the comforts of life to the occu
pants, and was of itself hotel on
wheels, even to barber shop. The
car was attached to the regular
train leaving Shoshone on Monday
night for Pocatello.
